Our Community Works to be Bicycle Friendly
Punta Gorda is different. In addition to the young families who live here, it includes many healthy aging seniors adding years to their life by staying active. As you move around our streets, you’ll find bicycling is a big part of a healthy lifestyle for many. TEAM Punta Gorda has long advocated for improving conditions that would make Punta Gorda and the surrounding areas of Charlotte County a bicycle friendly community. It has not been easy.
